Jesus says, “My sheep listen to my voice. I know my sheep. And they follow me.” How do we listen to God’s voice? In the busyness of family life and social media life and school life and work life and hanging out with the other sheep life, how do we hear the Shepherd speak to us? It might be that you have a really good system in place, really good rhythms of daily office and of prayer and of worship and of walks in nature. Or it might that, a bit like Yvette and me, you sometimes need to be jolted so God can put you somewhere where he has your attention, where there’s nothing more than four people, three horses, two shops, and one art gallery.
